Okay, most of you who know me know that I am not much of a homemaker. Not a great cook, not overly clean, not extra crafty, etc... It's fine. BUT, over the past few weeks with not a whole ton to do in the lovely town of Tucson I have been teaching myself some skills. My mom got me a sewing machine for Christmas and the box was just opened two weeks ago for the first time. Reading the directions on the box was seriously like reading a foreign language. How should I have known what a bobbin was? Thanks to many youtube videos and lots of hours of re-watching every ten seconds of each video, I taught myself how to thread a machine and sew!
I'm not great yet so don't judge too harshly but it has been so fun learning how to do it.
